Brookvale, Australia
I am an Australian Chartered Accountant with a B.Comm. and over 30 years accounting. I am a retired tax agent but still very up to date on company tax law. I am a Xero Level 3 Certified Specialist 3 Advisor, Xero Gold Partner, registered BAS and ASIC agent. I offer a virtual Chief Financial Officer service and provide a complete bookkeeping service, accounting, monthly reporting , BAS and taxation advice. I can streamline and dramatically speed up coding bank transactions using Xero tools to make this a very quick job daily or weekly. I can write customised reports to highlight different aspects of your results. I am a virtual CFO for a number of clients who have access to my qualifications, expertise and experience on as "as needed" basis so a far more economical way using an experienced CFO who are normally employed on a full time basis. In most cases it is less than 1 - 3 hours per week. I have done a number of due diligence jobs for clients buying a business and often have to do a level of forensic accounting to fully understand the business and ensure the figures being presented are accurate. In every case I have I have found significant issues that enabled the buyer to secure a large discount on the original sale price. My skills and expertise includes: • Balance sheet reconciliations and sorting out accounts for clients prior to completing and filing their quarterly BAS statements, prepare accounts ready for the tax agent and frequently negotiate repayment arrangements with the Tax Office for tax debts, regularly achieving major reductions from previous repayment arrangements. • Converting manual records to Xero and doing Xero set up work. I aim to have my clients obtain a clear picture of how their business is travelling at any stage in the accounting year and to have a better understanding of their financial position. • Organising new company and Trust registrations and advising on the setting up of any businesses in Australia. I know how to navigate the maze of statutory, taxation, transfer pricing, intercompany charges and regulatory requirements to become operational. • I have done forensic accounting and written reports to be submitted in Court evidence as an accountant expert for clients involved in Court action against their business partners. I have many excellent references, recent examples: Dec 1, 2025 - Feb 19, 2026 Rating is 5.0 out of 5.
